How much strength is required to crack/fracture a human bone?

Question

Specifically, bones from the arm. The Radius and/or Ulna. Which one produce a jagged crack and which one produce a clean break, a blunt force or concentrated edge impact? Of the length of the entire structure, where is the weakest point to cause fauilure to the bone? Roughly how much newtons is required to cause visible damage on an x-ray on diffrent section? Thanks

Taking the density on the bone as average density. And what method of stress would be likely to cause a closed and greenstick fracture?

Answer 1

well...i've broken my arms 4 times...so i would know...the weakest point in the radius and ulna is the very middle...usually bones break downwards because bones are naturally curved down...i dont really know how many newtons is required but i dont really t hink it is a lot because when you take an x-ray you get exposed to radiation. But not a lot so dont worry. Either one could break or crack it depends on the force that is put on it. And it depends on how healthy your bones are to tell how hard you have to exert a force to break or crack a bone.

Answer 2

How a lot stress is in the back of the article appearing upon the bone? A 22 cal. bullet can spoil a bone or like the guy suggested earlier me, you may spoil it lifting weights of four hundred lbs. that's declared human bones may be 3 to 4 circumstances more acceptable than concrete..

Answer 3

it depends on the angle and the circumstance but the femur can take an immense amount of strain if it is put straight up and down the Eiffel tower was designed after the structure of the femur because it is so strong
